   "Potions exams are always hard, but this is sure to be an especially nasty one," said Hermione.

     " Yeah," said Ron, miserably," I think Professor Snape gave us all those poison potions hoping we'd just kill ourselves rather than take the test.

      " Harry, are you all right," questioned Hermione.

      Harry was staring at the Slytherin table. The three young wizards were in the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everyone in the school was separated into one of four school houses. Although there was no rule that students had to eat with people in their own house that was how it usually ended up.

      " Yeah ," said Harry," It just seems that Draco is covered with more than the usual amount of admirers today. I wonder what he is up to."

      Harry and his friends were rivals of Draco Malfoy. Not because of his popularity, but what he chose to do with it. Harry was much more revered in most of the school houses but chose to make friends uninterested in popularity and power.

   At the Slytherin table, a small skinny boy stood patting a larger, seated boy on the back.

   "Good luck on the exam ,Goyle," Draco smirked.

     If anyone had ,at that moment , seen that smirk and the arrogant raise of the boys thin eyebrows, they would have seen him at once for what he was. It was the kind of smirk that you saw on the face of a person that knew two things. Firstly , that none was as good as he was and secondly that if they were they didn't have the kind of money to back it up with.

      " Goyle, pass an exam," Hermione snorted," That will be the day."

      " Well, he has passed five years of wizarding school," said Ron around a mouthful of cupcake.

      " I'd really like to know how," whispered Hermione," Oh no! We've been here an hour. Its really time to start studying."
